African Pride Crystal Towers Hotel & Spa is Cape Town’s exclusive executive hotel and the second largest conferencing venue in the city after the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
The architecturally stunning 5-star African Pride Crystal Towers Hotel & Spa offers a 24-hour porter and bar lounge service and full undercover parking with a valet parking service on offer. All rooms and public areas offer complimentary high-speed wireless internet access that supplements the state-of-the-art business centre, which offers delegates and guests fibre optic broadband connectivity and telephone access, as well as printing and fax facilities.
CONFERENCE ROOMS
The hotel has four large and technologically superior conference venues, which accommodate up to 450 delegates, as well as eight elegant boardrooms.
Crystal 1, 2 and 3 are the crown jewel of the hotel’s conference offering, with a stunning view over the Grand Canal in Century City. This 350-delegate venue is ideal for exhibitions, car and product launches and has drive-in access. It is a flexible, multipurpose space that can open up for a large event or be sectioned into three unique spaces, each accommodating a maximum of 100 people.
An adjacent, spacious cocktail/food station area ensures privacy and exclusivity to enjoy the superb catering options on offer.
Crystal 4, an elegant multipurpose venue on the reception floor, also enjoys a view of the Grand Canal and can accommodate up to 100 people, cinema-style.
The hotel’s eight boardrooms are perhaps in highest demand because of their versatility. They can cater to between seven and twenty people around the elegant glass tables, while two can be converted to comfortable cinema-style conference venues for between 70 and 80 people.
CATERING
African Pride Crystal Hotel & Spa has become the first hotel to work with international sports science expert and Original Eating proponent, Professor Tim Noakes, to create an additional conferencing menu for the many thousands of executives who choose to follow a healthier diet.
Among the healthy – and tasty – new conferencing menu items are poached quail egg with baby spinach and parmesan cheese, chicken caesar salad, coconut and almond smoothie, char-sui marinated lamb rack with yoghurt and smoked aubergine, and more. Prof Noakes’ Original Eating logo is placed next to each approved menu item, making it easy for health-conscious conference delegates to choose the right snacks and dishes.
Besides the Original Eating conference nibbles, the hotel offers a truly staggering array of finger food menus for conference breaks or cocktail events, as well as themed dinner options for conferencing groups of more than 30 delegates.
